How to Make Frosted Paper Honeycomb Suns

1. Gather your craft tools and materials. Then download the template below.
2. Cut out and score the paper according to template. If you are not using a cutting machine, it is recommended you print directly onto your paper of choice and then cut it out with a detail knife and ruler. Score along the indicated dotted lines.
3. Fold along all of the score lines to define. Fold all of the circles in half.
4. Apply glue to the top and bottom sections, as shown in the photo tutorial. You can use hot glue or a permanent tacky glue, whatever works best with your chosen paper.
